German Silver Chain for Men & Women – 20 g Woven Link Necklace for Pendant

 

A German silver chain with a polished silver-coloured finish and a closely woven link design. Wear it on its own as a plain neck chain, or use it as a chain for a locket or pendant. The piece photographed has a decorative hook-style closure.

The chain weighs approximately 20 grams, measures [LENGTH] inches ([LENGTH] cm) in length and [WIDTH] mm in width. That weight gives it a substantial, solid look on the neck while staying simple enough for everyday wear — it works equally as a men's chain and a women's chain.

What is German Silver?

"German Silver" is the trade name for a silver-coloured base-metal alloy, typically copper with nickel and zinc. It is not 925 sterling silver and contains no pure silver. It is bought for its silver-like appearance at a fraction of the cost, and is widely used for imitation silver chains, temple jewellery and pendant chains. We state this clearly because the name misleads a lot of buyers.

Care Instructions

Keep the chain dry and remove it before bathing, swimming or exercising. Avoid perfume, sanitiser and cleaning chemicals. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after use and store it separately in a pouch to reduce scratches and tangling. Like all base-metal alloys, the finish may dull or darken over time with moisture and sweat — this is normal and not a defect.

4. Frequently Asked Questions

Is German Silver real silver? No. Despite the name, German Silver is a silver-coloured base-metal alloy — usually copper, nickel and zinc. It contains no pure silver and is not 925 sterling silver.

What is the difference between German silver and sterling silver? Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver and is hallmarked. German silver contains no silver at all — it only resembles it in colour. Sterling silver costs many times more, holds resale value, and can be re-polished indefinitely. German silver is chosen for appearance at low cost.

Does a German silver chain turn black? It can darken or dull over time with exposure to sweat, moisture, perfume and humidity. Wiping it dry after wear and storing it in a pouch slows this considerably.

Is the chain exactly 20 grams? The stated weight is approximate. Handmade chains vary slightly, so the finished piece may be a little above or below 20 grams.

What length is this chain? [LENGTH] inches ([LENGTH] cm), measured end to end including the clasp.

Can I wear it with a pendant or locket? Yes. The chain is well suited as a pendant chain, provided the pendant's bail or loop fits over the [WIDTH] mm link and the pendant isn't too heavy for the chain.

Is it suitable for men and women? Yes, it's a unisex chain. The 20 g weight and woven link design read as a men's chain in shorter lengths and work well for women when paired with a pendant.

Is it good for daily wear? It can be worn daily, but it's a base-metal alloy, so it won't hold its finish as long as sterling silver. Removing it before bathing and exercise makes a significant difference.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin? German silver alloys commonly contain nickel, which some people react to. This chain is [NICKEL]. If you have a known nickel allergy, please confirm before ordering.

Is this chain hallmarked? No. Hallmarking applies to gold and silver of certified purity. German silver is a base metal and is not hallmarked.
